Kubby headed back to Placer jail for 60 days
The Sacramento Bee ^ | March 15, 2006 | Art Campos

Nine days after being released early from the Placer County jail because of overcrowding, medical marijuana activist Steven Wynn Kubby is returning for another stay.

Kubby, 59, will report to jail today to serve a 60-day sentence imposed Tuesday by Superior Court Judge Robert McElhany, who determined that Kubby violated probation when he moved to Canada in 2001 to avoid a 120-day term for a drug conviction.

ROFL!
Just a difference of opinion between the sherif and the judge. Placer County Sheriff Ed Bonner thought it was better to release Kubby instead of a real criminal. Judge James Roeder thinks it's better to release a real criminal and keep the pothead.

Nope. Different crime.

Same case and now both Placer County Judges have been accused of criminal wrong doing in the Kubby case. This is headed into state court and the Sheriff is not on the side of the judges or prosecuter.

Both Judge Roeder and Judge Gaddis had previously been removed from the Kubby case, for bias and prejudice, and were officially recused. Under California law, once a judge has been disqualified from a case they are forever disqualified. But that didn't stop Roeder and Gaddis and it was their signatures that made Steve Kubby a 'felony fugitive' and resulted in him being jailed.

Same case

Drugs. Violating probation.

Are you ever right?

Drugs. Violating probation.

He wasn't on probation. The jury acquitted Kubby of all marijuana charges. He was guilty of a misdemeanor possession of peyote and a piece of psilocybin mushroom stem. That is a fine, not jail or probation.

Judge Roeder and Judge Gaddis illegally changed his conviction to a felony and issued a felony fugitive warrant for his arrest. The court reporter, Judy Boucree, signed a sworn statement testifying that both judges committed this crime after they had been removed from the case because of their misbehavior.

Are you ever right?

Obviously more often than you.
You don't even know the facts of the case.

Wrong. As always.

"Kubby, 59, will report to jail today to serve a 60-day sentence imposed Tuesday by Superior Court Judge Robert McElhany, who determined that Kubby violated probation when he moved to Canada in 2001 to avoid a 120-day term for a drug conviction."

Kubby was in Canada, making a documentary, with the court's permission. He was not a fugitive. He was labeled a felony fugitive by the Appeal Court, by order of judges Roeder and Gaddis. They commited fraud. They had been removed from the Kubby case for misbehavior before they fraudulently claimed he was a fugitive.

You may want to wait until this case makes its way into the higher court before you continue and lose what little credibility you have.

Kubby violated probation when he moved to Canada in 2001 to avoid a 120-day term for a drug conviction.


It half worked.

Wrong. Again.

The appellate court ruled that, as a fugitive from justice, Kubby "has forfeited his right to appeal his jail term."

It noted that Kubby admitted in a declaration that he "decided to move to Canada after his initial interview with his probation officer because he concluded that incarceration would endanger his health."
